I understand your frustration but snowbird season has always been like this. Maybe not quite as extreme, but pretty darn close. You do learn to go at least an hour early for activities at the rec centers. It's a great time to meet new people, find new friends to sit with. Or bring a good book and just relax until the doors open and you can get your seat.
As has been said, we frogs just adjust our schedules to accommodate the snowbirds and visitors. For three months we're inconvenienced somewhat, but it is worth it so that stores, restaurants can be open after snowbird season. If this deters you from enjoying TV, I'm so very sorry. You're missing out on one of the better retirement communities in the country.
